Cries
Cries of distress often touch the eruption of trouble into hearing — alarm, surprise, a call for help that can't be ignored. The dream may ask whose suffering is reaching you, where you sense serious straits ahead, and whether staying alert through the gloom might let you finally emerge and even gain from it.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for cries, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901

To hear a cry of surprise, you will receive aid from unexpected sources.
To hear the cries of wild beasts, denotes an accident of a serious nature.
